Girl Up

Girl Up describes itself as a girl-centered leadership development initiative focusing on equity for girls and women in spaces where they are unheard or underrepresented. It operates a global network of regional affiliates and states that it impacts 430,000 girls and youth leaders in 155 countries and all 50 U.S. states. Its stated core values are Youth-Centered, Passionate Action, Global Community, and Accountability. Girl Up was born within the United Nations Foundation and transitioned in 2025 to its fiscal home at the Global Fund for Children, where it operates as a fiscally sponsored, hosted initiative.

Girl Up states that it was born within the United Nations Foundation — described as a bold idea that became a movement — and then grew into a global movement for gender justice led by young people. Guided by its youth leaders' vision for more direct action and deeper grassroots connection, it transitioned in 2025 to its fiscal home at the Global Fund for Children. According to Girl Up, this move strengthened its ability to operate as a globally distributed, youth-led movement, expanding its training, resources, and support. It states that it carries forward the UN Foundation's spirit of innovation as a close thought partner while advancing its path to 2030 and beyond. Girl Up also states that it is a fiscally sponsored, hosted initiative of the Global Fund for Children, a 501(c)(3) public charity, operating under GFC's legal and governance framework with GFC maintaining ultimate fiduciary and administrative oversight.
